Nonsense like smitty's headline is precisely the kind of thing that caused your side to lose the election: you've wrap yourselves up into a comfortable fantasy world instead of facing facts. I would've thought Tuesday's results would have broken you out of your bubble...but, a lot of you seem to want to double down on the derp.

Don't listen to the posters above me, submitter. They are clearly part of the liberal conspiracy against Allen West. All of his supporters need to double and triple down on this as hard as they can so the rats won't steal another victory from a true patriot. You should be as loud about this as often as you can, and accept no other outcome aside from Allen West being elected.

Just how bad do you have to suck to lose an election as a Republican in Florida? His district is GOP +4. Every method possible was used to restrict voting of Democratic groups. And yet there was somehow a Democratic surge of control in this district only that allowed 140% of the electorate to turn out? It's like saying that Republicans took over a precinct in Massachusetts and stole an election.

Please bar satan from our voting places and allow free people to decide our fate. Forgive us LORD for our transgressions (abortion and gay marriage) and allow your people to stand up against tyranny and unrighteous behavior. Allow your people the opportunity for a new beginning by voting your morals, ethics, and values.

We have had enough of bad government. Give Romney the winds to fill his sails to victory for the good of the country.

In Jesus' name..Amen

Lib-trolls, (like the one just below this post) you are soon out of a job.

Now that there is a recount being conducted, West has the option to contest the election if fraud or misconduct may have changed the result, whether or not the recount changes the outcome of the election.

Is anyone here: anyone at all, the least bit concerned that there were more total votes than the total number of registered voters?

Or do you doubt the veracity of this detail of the story? Townhall is probably about as reliable of a source as The Register, but it does list several verifiable facts and figures, such as the location (St. Lucie county), the registered voting population (175,554) and the number of ballots cast (247,713). This isn't hard, all we have to do to confirm or deny is contact the state's supervisor of election (Gertrude Walker), or her office. We can't do that monday because, well, federal holiday, but Tuesday we could make such contact...

I don't give a shiat about Al West or whoever is running in a given district. Not my state, so it has no effect on me. I'm much, much more worried about the state of our electoral system... either the ballot boxes were ludicrously stuffed, or else someone farked up the count and double-counted close to half the ballots.

If the latter, then yeah, they need to be fired (but probably won't be since... government job), if the former... how could we prevent such fraud from occurring again?

Fool_Marquis:Townhall is probably about as reliable of a source as The Register

A more reliable source of information than Townhall would result if you started reading my morning turds like tea leaves.

Until it shows up from a source that doesn't spend the majority of its time lying, I don't give a flying fark. All the Conservative Little sites like Townhall can go fark themselves because if a site like Townhall told me the sky was still blue today, I'd go outside and check just to be sure.

Funny how when a website spends all its time lying people stop worrying about anything it says after awhile, huh?

Nonsense like smitty's headline is precisely the kind of thing that caused your side to lose the election:

Memo to Eraser8.No, the reason the Romney lost the election was that 0bama got more votes (yeah, yeah, electoral college).The reason why Pelosi failed in getting back the House is that the GOP got more votes.The reason why there are so many GOP governors, is that they got more votes.

Anyone out there have a third explanation?

In St Lucie is it not Votes Cast vs Voters it is Cards Cast. In that district the Ballot measures were on a second card. If everyone had voted for everything they could it would have been 200% in this particular election.

As previously stated http://www.slcelections.com/ has a note about this and the language on the reports confirms this

If you look at the votes vs registered/eligible for each section (Presidential/Senate etc) they are always under.

Can you at least agree that "information" from Townhall should, at the very minimum, be exhaustively verified before accepting it? I mean, this bit of derp is horrifically stupid. I mean, you realize why people just simply dismiss Townhall out of hand, right?
